Dog Heaven by Cynthia Rylant
If I'm being honest, this is one of those books that makes me extra thankful for the library. We checked it out, brought it home, and only read it once in the 3 weeks we had it because neither Noah or I really liked it.
Overall, I found the tone of the book to be too sad. That being said, it might be just the thing that a pet lover would need after losing a beloved friend. It suggests that dogs get to experience many wonderful things and places in "dog heaven" where they are very happy after they leave us. Kind of strange in my mind, but I know some people use similar explanations for the children if their family pet dies.
I won't recommend this one, but if you'd like to try it out, be my guest.
